You may see the new semiquincentennial quarters popping up in change soon.

The Semiquincentennial Quarter to honor the Declaration of Independence was to be shipped to banks on June 1, the U.S. Mint said in a news release.

Instead of George Washington, the front of the coin features Thomas Jefferson, with “E PLURIBUS UNUM,” IN GOD WE TRUST" and “1776-2026″ while the back has the Liberty Bell ringing and “THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE,” QUARTER DOLLAR," “LIBERTY” and “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA” inscribed.

“These coins commemorate 250 years of American Liberty by reflecting our country’s founding principles and honoring our Nation’s history,” the agency said.

They were authorized by the Circulating Collectible Coin Redesign Act of 2020 and signed into law in 2021.
